I fixed the bird and tried to set it up the day before yesterday. It was windy here in Germantown, MD. The heli lifted up and slowly drifted (banked) left. Trimmed it but got little response. The battery ran out just for only trimming. The second pack ran out after some power ups/ "light on skid's."
I think I have to find an experience pilot to help me with setting. Funny thing is I also got a HBK2 even before really trying the Axe CP.
Yes, I'm shopping for a sim right now. I narrow down Realflight G3.5 and FS One (Hangar 9). Hopefully will get one next week.
